I hired Major Michael Scott Brumback for a legal issue, personal injury. Him and his partner Sid Ottem and their team are awesome. Super supportive, and kept my wife and I updated weekly! I recommend them so highly, that I did a tv commercial for them!

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of knowing Scott and have had the pleasure of talking to him, learning from him, and hearing from many of his clients their experiences in having him as their attorney. All have said to me that they feel Scott is a zealous advocate that cares about them. Some of my current clients at Yakima County also have went to him and echo the positive endorsement of him and his law firm. I've been very impressed with Scott that he cares about his clients and is a strong advocate for them be it personal injury, social security benefits, or workers compensation benefits. I'm also very impressed with Scott's service to our County as a Military Veteran. I have tremendous respect and admiration for Scott Brumback and recommend him to anyone wanting outstanding legal service and advocacy. Scott is someone I am proud to call a friend and colleague."
